Protest is just another form of expressing free speech - besides that, I fail to see what Milo being a "gay Jew who only dates black men" has to do with anything?

He's retiring very soon.

Are you not depriving HBO of the money from the subscription you would presumably buy if not for the free copy you obtained?

I very much agree with this. The hardest part BY FAR is getting started on the task. Once I'm in the groove of say, doing Calc HW, I don't want to be interrupted by stuff like reddit, I want to finish solving the problem I'm on

I haven't seen many good arguments against Snowden either - but your comment here is a huge strawman. Just because you feel strongly about what Snowden did doesn't mean everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant/dumb.

Vaguely OT, but does anyone have good information regarding how to identify or block scam/shady websites?

My grandfather tends to fall victim to these types of things - not even always explicit scams like this, but believing hugely inaccurate political websites ( think Obama impeachment conspiracy type BS ), and buying into wonder-products or just the general drivel you see in spammy ads on AOL.

I'm probably going to start by cleaning up his computer some and installing Ad-Block, but most of the links to the websites are coming from his emails - any advice from someone that have dealt with similar scenarios?

I do see your point regarding places that someone would go to explicitly for condoms - but the big bowl was in the study room for a college program. Almost all the people in the program were there everyday condoms or not - so maybe the solution is to put them in places where people already frequent?

School/work/etc.

Because I do agree that not many people are going to make a trip to Planned Parenthood, park, and go in just to get some free condoms.

I don't see a problem with condoms from a public bowl. I used them throughout my freshman year without a problem. As for your embarrassment factor, that's a problem regardless of free or paid. That's just the stigma around sexual activity in general.

There's tons of places in most major cities that give away condoms for free. When I was in my freshman year of college, the main study room for a program I was in had a big bowl of free condoms by the exit.

This is like every tired introvert/extrovert stereotype all combined into one post.

No one person is fully introverted/extroverted. Everyone appreciates alone/quiet time to an extent and appreciates other people's company to an extent. It's way more of a spectrum than it is a black and white status.

I love meeting new people and going to social events, but I also have no problem spending time alone working on projects. What am I? A worker or a boss?

ugh, didn't really think the "tough guy i am very smart" thing was on HN

Eh, in a high school setting, there's no better way to learn teamwork than being on a sports team, imo.

Your comments come off as ridiculously condescending

There's nothing inherently wrong with keeping a list like that - just the way it is presented in the article makes it feel very juvenile.

We don't know what kind of "seeing" they were doing though - "dating" someone in modern lingo can mean anything from casual sex twice weekly to having breakfast every morning together. There's a huge variance in the type of information you know about someone between those two types of relationships.

Well, the last example is really a "he said/she said" situation, to be fair. If there's no proof otherwise besides Pao's testimony, it would make sense that de Baubigny would say it never happened.

I did think the "resentment chart" was very high school, though.

I think he means with a purpose in your activity.

As in - go to the grocery store to get groceries

Go to beer place to get beer.

Small tasks with a small errand-like purpose to build up to bigger activities

Really, I relate "nerdiness" with any kind of deep interest or passion. Although, not every person who is stereo-typically "nerdy" enough to browse /b/ necessarily devotes their time to something productive: be that learning an instrument, training your body, hacking, or whatever. There's a distinction to be made between "stereotypical nerd" (Poor social skills, good with computer, basement dweller) and what I consider "actual nerds" (those with a passion or deep interest in something that they then attribute an ungodly amount of time to).
